Frequently Asked Questions

What is a traditional 401(k) plan and how does it work?

A traditional 401(k) is a retirement plan sponsored by an employer that allows employees to contribute pre-tax income. These contributions reduce taxable income today and grow tax-deferred until withdrawal in retirement, when the funds are taxed as ordinary income. Our 401(k)s also have the ability for Roth components within the 401(k). 

A 401(k) typically offers higher contribution limits than a personal IRA and helps attract and retain skilled employees while offering tax advantages to your business. Employer contributions are tax-deductible, and employees benefit from structured, long-term retirement savings.

For 2026:

  • Employee elective deferral: up to $24,5000

  • Catch-up (age 50+): $8,000

  • Enhanced catch-up (ages 60–63): up to $11,250

Total contributions (employee + employer) are subject to the IRS annual maximum, which is indexed for inflation.

Employers can define eligibility, but federal rules allow most employees who are at least 21 years old and have a minimum length of service of one year to participate. Some plans offer immediate eligibility to simplify enrolment.

At IRA Club SBS, our systems integrate with iFlip, a Shield+ protected AI-powered investing platform that adapts to today’s unpredictable markets, letting you and your team invest confidently without timing the market or paying high advisor fees. 

Traditional 401(k) contributions are made pre-tax, lowering current taxable income and growing tax-deferred until withdrawal, often at a lower retirement tax rate. 401(k) contributions that have a Roth component are after-tax, but qualified withdrawals of both contributions and investment earnings are tax-free once the account is at least five years old and the owner is 59½ or older.

Yes, businesses can choose to match employee contributions, such as 100% of the first 3% of salary. Matches are optional but enhance the plan’s value, and matching funds are also tax-deductible for your business.

Withdrawals before age 59½ typically incur a 10% penalty and income tax, unless certain exceptions apply (e.g., disability, qualified hardship). Educating employees about these rules helps protect their savings.

RMDs are mandatory withdrawals that begin at age 73 for traditional 401(k)s. The IRS sets the annual amount based on account balance and life expectancy. Failure to take RMDs can result in additional penalties.
